1294 - The Answer!
Have taken this from the answers that the setter sent out today:
"the question which caused so much misery or as one person put it “
brain exercise” ! Our trusty Radio Companion, a wonderful reference book by Paul Donovan, lists the castaways from Desert Island Discs and in 1974 castaway number 1294 was The Marquess of Bath……. I suspect many of you presumed 1294 was referring to the year. Three people did in fact get the answer correct, sadly one of those got another question wrong. I’m sure you will all agree they did well! Apologies to the two people who put
Countess of Bath – so near but we really couldn’t make it fit the question."
How on earth were we suposed to get that!
